In a bad-vibes moment, they're denying a huge outlet like IGN a review code. No matter what I think of IGN in particular (nothing good tbh), that's not something I can find a real explanation for other than "We made DC's Gollum and want to avoid bad press as long as we can".

I have seen it happen before when review outlets don't get copies, but the game still turns out awesome. I think it happened for Doom Eternal.

It feels pointless to play devil's advocate here though, since one way or another, I'm basically sure it's going to be terrible. I just don't like consigning internet opinion based on anything other than gameplay and actual reviews.
